In Chester, they managed to blame one assiduous, quiet and professional nurse, Lucy Letby and wriggled off the hook… Hundreds of mothers and babies ‘harmed at NHS trust’ thetimes.com/article/3de29f4…

"We've got one of the worst criminal appeals systems in the world". A standing ovation for Tom Hayes, wrongfully convicted for financial crime, as he advocates for Lucy Letby at the @nineteen_nurses conference at the Gustave Tuck Theatre at UCL. youtu.be/UC_bZAVn06M?si=m5vw…

V powerful talk by Tom Hayes. @DavidLammy @ShabanaMahmood The criminal justice system must do much better, esp with using so called expert witnesses, and the speed with which wrongful convictions are fixed. Likely many 1000s of innocent people in prison, this devastates lives.

A superb talk from @robilypj on his wrongful conviction, his involvement in the Lucy Letby case and our broken appeals system. I was privileged to be in the audience. The standing ovation was very well deserved. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one with tears in their eyes by the end.

Conveniently Chester Hospital is not included in the Amos Maternity Rapid Review. Morecombe, Shrewsbury & Telford, East Kent have all been investigated & are still part of the review. The hospital Lucy Letby is serving time for murder is NOT under review.

In 2000 COCH had a new CEO called Peter Herring. He came with an agenda to make COCH a NHS FoundationTrust. One of the first in the UK. Whilst CEO he closed 56 beds & dispensed with numerous registered nurses across the Trust via various methods including 8 senior registered nurses on the neonatal unit . I was the ANNP & was one of those nurses dispensed with. In 2012 Peter Herring left COCH & went to Shrewsbury and Telford. In 2015 he left Shrewsbury and Telford and went to Nottingham. Both Shrewsbury and Telford and Nottingham have had Donna Ockenden reviews demonstrating absolutely appalling care for women and children. People need to join up the dots that COCH also had appalling maternity care but they very cleverly deflected it to be a serial killer. @NeoDoc11 @MartynPitman @NadineDorries @DOckendenLtd @ClarkeMicah @PeterElston1 @legalmarkmc @drphilhammond

Nine hundred successful convictions, without a single forensic audit to establish that the money said to be missing had in fact moved from A to B? Fifteen whole-life orders, without the prosecution producing a single piece of direct inculpatory evidence that Lucy Letby intentionally harmed a baby? What could possibly go wrong? One answer has been available since 2011. The Law Commission proposed a statutory reliability test for expert evidence in criminal trials: before a jury heard it, a judge would first have to be satisfied that the expert opinion was properly grounded, methodologically sound, and fit to be relied upon. The government declined to implement those recommendations because, in effect, no one could guarantee that such a safeguard would pay for itself. In Horizon, from 1999 to 2015, a computer-generated shortfall was treated as proof of theft before the alleged theft was independently established. In Letby, the longest medical trial in British legal history, clinical opinion was treated as proof of deliberate harm before deliberate harm was independently verified. In both cases, a technical or expert narrative became a substitute for proof of the crime itself. Which is precisely what the Law Commission’s proposal was designed to stop: to insert a circuit-breaker preventing weak, speculative, or overconfident expert evidence from being placed before a jury dressed as certainty. Horizon and Letby have now supplied an indicative cost for that inaction. The time has come to implement the Law Commission’s 2011 recommendations on the admissibility of expert evidence in criminal proceedings. It might also help strengthen public trust in the judiciary. #LucyLetby

You are absolutely correct, @ClarkeMicah, that by engaging seriously with the evidence and consulting experts, you identified the central issues in this case and brought them before a wide and mainstream audience in the UK. And thank you for recognising that, rather than being a lone voice, you were the first truly influential journalistic voice to bring mass attention to them. Felicity Lawrence at The Guardian⁠ did the same as soon as the restrictions were lifted, although arguably she did not have as large an audience or as much reach as you did. And @drphilhammond who has done an absolutely amazing job of exposing this MoJ, albeit to a much smaller audience than what the Daily Mail has. As has Cleuci @LucyLetbyTrials. And many people who had no meaningful audience (in mainstream media terms) did the same, which I am really happy to see you recognise. You have played an extremely important role in this case, and for that I am very grateful to you, even though I disagree with many of your other opinions. You also have the emotional maturity to handle disagreement without ignoring it or resorting to offence, which is a quality that not many influential people in current society possess. @drphilhammond @FelicityLa76731 @LucyLetbyTrials

@AllisonPearson If you think Peter Hitchens was a lone voice on this, I would gently suggest looking a little further into the history of the case. There has been a substantial body of highly credible people raising concerns about the Lucy Letby convictions for well over two years - many doing so in measured, evidence-based ways, and in some cases long before Hitchens became involved. And to be fair, people are not “mad” or “stupid” for believing the convictions either. All it really took was a degree of trust in the NHS and in our legal “justice” system - trust most people naturally have and want to have. Human beings are also psychologically built to avoid painful or deeply uncomfortable possibilities where they can. It is far easier to believe that the institutions are functioning properly than to contemplate the possibility that an innocent person may have been turned into a serial killer figure in order to deflect attention from poor clinical care, poor NHS leadership, and deeply questionable behaviour by people in positions of power. The fact that many of those raising concerns lacked large platforms does not mean they did not exist, nor that they did not take significant personal and professional risks by speaking out. Some of us followed the case closely for professional reasons. In my own case, as a neonatologist with a law degree and familiarity with scapegoating and whistleblower cases, the warning signs were apparent relatively early to anyone prepared to examine the evidence carefully rather than emotionally. @drphilhammond @DavidDavisMP @PeterElston1 @ClarkeMicah @MartynPitman @Michelehal7344 @sarahknapton @PrivateEyeNews @DavidRoseUK @LucyLetbyTrials @Voice4theDead

What about Richard Gill, Scott McLachlan, Michele Worden, The RSS? Why no mention of them? And it is instructive that you chose to mention the two you did. You’ve written great stuff that has brought attention to the Letby travesty. I just think it could have been even greater, that’s all.

In my original Seotember 2023 Letby article, I stated : 'Now I must tell you that a number of voices, apparently expert, have been raised by lawyers and scientists who are afraid there may have been a miscarriage of justice. I am not qualified to judge them, but if they are right there are flaws in the prosecution of Lucy Letby, in important claims made about the actions she supposedly took. There are also questions about the general state of the unit in which she worked. A body calling itself 'Science on Trial' has produced an interesting analysis of the case that I find quite disturbing. Recently, Dr David Livermore, a retired Professor of Medical Microbiology, has also expressed doubts. In an article for the Daily Sceptic website, he says: 'No one who cares about justice should be comfortable with this case.'

Momentum is most certainly growing, ahead of further impending significant media coverage and the launch of @CPMorris1234 's book 'Reasonable Doubt' about the #LucyLetby investigation, trial and conviction.

An excellent and very well attended #LucyLetby conference in London yesterday. Attendees including politicians, journalists and media professionals listened to an array of informative and moving presentations.

The fact that messrs Evans and Bohin were both apparently unaware of the optimal target zone for oxygen saturations for ventilated neonates, given their supposed 'expert' status on such critical matters, is quite some distance beyond astonishing. 😳

I don’t think he’s on X any more but Richard Moorhead has been given an OBE in the birthday honours list. Richard has done a phenomenal amount of thinking, writing and work on helping victims of the Post Office scandal and his award is very well deserved.
